Uh, a thousand pardons, offendis, but it appears some cad emptied my 151 and filled the bottle with kerosene. It would explain the liquid’s blasted reluctance to being extinguished. Again, a million apologies, Cristi.

Hey, 's Unc still asleep? You know, I’ll bet he’d look distinguished as all get out if he didn’t have those unsightly eyebrows. Who’s got the razor?

::wandering in with a bottle of Jack Daniels:: Damn Redskins losing this weekend…

Anyone mind if I join the party? I know I’m late, but I brought more liquor! ::downing two shots::

Ahh…mush better. And strip poker, DB? Shall we see if we can get Satan to play? 😉

:::semi-scorched, bald squirrel-thing comes tearing into the room from the hallway. It leaps from the floor to the back of the couch, then onto the coffee table, then back onto the floor where it zigs and zags through some legs before launching itself through the air and makes its escape through a hole in the window screen.::

::Rysdad appears a moment later wearing a catcher’s mask and holding a tennis racket in one hand and a long-handled barbecue fork in the other. His shirt appears to be torn or shredded. He almost vaults a prone body, falls onto the coffee table, and smashes it. He stumbles to his feet, ricochets off the Leatherette La-Z-Boy, careens off a bookcase, and charges toward the front door. He flings the door, yelling, _C’mere you vicious little sumbitch!_::

Normal conversation, momentarily paused, resumes.

::downing more Jack Daniels from the bottle::

Damn, that stuff’s good. ::stepping over Sealemon:: Sorry! Didn’t mean to wake you up!

Anyone ever see what happened to Cowgod? He should’ve been back a while ago…

And Flypsyde? Only one piece of clothing makes it more fun…for some of us anyway! 😉 Besides, it’s already slipping…

I’m hungry. Is there any food left?

Well that sure hit the spot! Now that I’ve got something in my stomach, I think it’s time for some more beer!

Found some stuff in Unc’s closet. Lessee,now I gotta wool ski cap, two right gloves, a scarf, a swim flipper, leg warmers, and a golf shoe. Now I’m ready. Deal!

And you two trollops had better just stop peeking, unless we’re going to _all_ going to start showing off our, uhhh, endowments.
